                                 PRAYER

  Lieutenant Commander Stephen Cloer, Chaplain, United States Navy, 
Office of the Chief of Navy Chaplains, Washington, D.C., offered the 
following prayer:
  Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, 
and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on Earth is Yours, O 
Lord, and this is Your kingdom. We adore You as the one who is over all 
things. Wealth and honor come from You alone. Power and might are in 
Your hand. At Your discretion, people are made great and given 
strength.
  Heavenly Father, Savior, and friend, I am humbled to pray within 
these historic halls. By Your divine appointment, Members of this House 
have been selected to represent the precious mosaic of people across 
our Nation. Lord, bless our leaders. Make Your face to shine upon them 
and give them strength. May every decision made here pass carefully 
under the scrutiny of Your holy standards.
  Bless our deployed soldiers, airmen, sailors, coastguardsmen, 
marines, and their families. Heal and restore our veterans.
  Amen.
